## What are passengers owed when a Cluj-Napoca Airport departure qualifies?

Under [Regulation (EC) No 261/2004](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2004/261/oj), a delay of three hours or more at arrival, or a late cancellation, can mean €250, €400 or €600 per passenger, by distance. Compensation for flights from Cluj-Napoca Airport follows the same rules as any other airport's. The airline can still refuse for extraordinary circumstances, such as a storm. Cluj-Napoca Airport cancellations count from the day the airline cancels; the notice it gave decides each claim.

- Check one flight with the [compensation calculator](/flight-delay-compensation-calculator).
- Read the [EU261 guide](/passenger-rights/eu261) in plain language.
- [Start a claim](/claim) if your own flight was one of them.

The rules will change. The European Parliament approved a reform of EU261 on 7 July 2026, expected to apply from the second half of 2027. Until then the current rules stand.

## How were these Cluj-Napoca Airport figures made?

We record the scheduled and actual times of passenger flights at a panel of monitored airports. A flight qualifies when it arrived three hours or more late, or was cancelled. Qualifying is not the same as owed. The panel is a sample, so every count is a floor, not the whole market. A codeshare counts once, under the airline that operates it. The [monthly release](/data/2026-09) explains the method in full.
